I just finished reading "Manga Classics: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakepeare."
This ebook tells of the story of two starred-crossed lovers caught in the between a family fued.

I really enjoyed the Manga Style. The illustrations were big and bold; perfect to catch the reader's eye.

The only issue I had was that Manga is not made for an ebook. Manga is a Japanese style of reading right to left; instead of the American style of reading left to right.

I received a digital advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my review.

These are an enjoyable series. I love the adaptation of the classic Romeo and Juliet tale. I think if Shakespeare was around today he would appreciate this faithful adaptation of his classic tale of two lovers in fair Verona. Really do recommend this series. ( )

I’ve been reading the Manga Classics since the beginning and I really like how they bring classics to life in a new way. Especially some stories have been told so many times in so many different ways that it is difficult to bring something new to the stage (see what I did there?), and now they have branched into a new field: Shakespeare. Shakespeare has been turned into manga before (at least I believe I saw some lying in The Globe shop last year, but I haven’t read those (yet)).

They start with Romeo and Juliet, probably a logical choice but also one of my least favourite Shakespeare plays. All the original text is included, and the drawings help with understanding some of the more difficult metaphors if needed. Manga really lends itself into exaggerating personalities into caricatures (especially with characters like the nurse which already have these tendencies).

Nice artwork make a nice adaptation, but I would be looking forward to other plays which are said to come soon!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )
